The three screenshots are taken in a sequence and demonstrate a
typical near pass of e.g. two FLARM equippped gliders. The extra
information is colour-coded in the already mentioned way. In the
four corners of the radar screen is additional info to the selected
target displayed:
Top left : If available the FLARM Id of the selected target.
Top right : Vario of the target, derived from the consecutive altitude
messages.
Bottom left : The distance to the target.
Bottom right : The relative hight of the target.
From the first to the second FLARM snapshot were passed about
15 seconds. The selected blue target was climbing with 3.4 m/s
and had a not as threat recognised course relation. Then in the
mean time the ‘DC’ has turned more to the left, became an alerting
threat and gets now displayed red. The FLARM radar switched
the zoom from 1000 meter to 500 meter. In snapshot three the
continuously climbing target becomes classified to threat level 1,
gets yellow coloured and seams to no longer a threat.
